Hermione, with tears in her eyes, got up, and before anyone could stop her, SLAP. Her hand met the side of Malfoy's face. Again Crabbe and Goyle moved forward, but Malfoy told them he would handle it.

"If you ever touch me again, Mudblood, you will be very sorry," he drawled and then turned and left.

"Blood hell Hermione," exclaimed Ron," you just slapped Malfoy."

"So what?" she said," You knew the day was going to come where I wouldn't be able to take it anymore, and well today is that day."

"You go girl!" Exclaimed Ginny.

"Yes, that was impressive," said Luna, as the train stopped.

"Yes very good Hermione. Oh we're here," said Harry out of nowhere.

"Welcome to another years at Hogwarts!" he boomed "I am pleased to introduce yet another new Defence against the Dark Arts teacher. Professor Winston. Good luck!"

"He's brave," mumbled Ron.
